Reynolds, the Canadian actor who starred in “The Proposal” and will don tights and a mask for the presumptive blockbuster “The Green Lantern” next summer, is married to Scarlett Johansson (no slouch in the sexy department herself). “Now it's going to be, 'Sexiest man, take out the garbage.’ That does sound better,” Reynolds says. "The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers."

Though Diesel didn’t take the cover, he does have the heart (or the libido) of the people. He won People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” poll on Facebook with 56 percent of the vote. “Jersey Shore” star Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio came in second (guess abs aren't everything), with 28 percent, followed by singer Enrique Iglesias, football player Chad Ochocinco and Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa.
